Oracle Day 2012 - Manila

With the theme, Your Vision, Engineered, different forum on the current issues in the world of Information Technology have been discussed such as Oracle Fusion Applications (innovation on the existing Oracle products), Cloud Computing and Big Data.

The event registration started at 8am, and fortunately, early bird participants received a gift from Oracle and they were able to have an ample time in looking around, visiting the sponsors’ booths.

I’ve met Ms. Liz Anosa in the event. She is my former PeopleSoft instructor during my training from my previous company. She is now working in Oracle Corporation.

Mr. John Hansen, the Director of Asia Pacific HCM Consulting Program of Oracle, graced the opening remarks followed by his overview on Oracle Applications. He discussed that Oracle continue to expand and innovate its products to assist the ever growing global industry. He further mentioned that although Oracle focuses in developing the so-called Oracle Fusion Applications (the complete interface package of Oracle products such as PeopleSoft/Siebel/JD Edwards/CRM), the company will continue to enhance the existing individual Oracle products like PeopleSoft, Siebel, JD Edwards and CRM.

He further shared his expertise on how Oracle designed its application to completely address the I.T.’s problem in handling Big Data. Moreover, he revealed the new Oracle Appliance products and he was able to describe the high level concept of each products.

In the afternoon, all participants were asked to proceed at the respective Track or Module they have chosen to attend. Oracle has prepared three Tracks or Module: Oracle Applications, Cloud Computing and Big Data. Unlike the morning session, these separate discussions have covered the more detailed concept of the three topics.

As one of the highlights in the afternoon session for the topic Oracle Applications, Mr. Hansen was able to demonstrate the current HCM and CRM Oracle Applications they have designed exclusively for mobile and tablet users: iOS and Android systems.

Aside from that, Mr. Pieter Els, Oracle Director – APAC Product Management and Strategy-SCM Applications, has prepared an additional forum on Oracle Corporation’s business concept about transforming the value chain framework of a company with regards to its challenges.

The Oracle Day Manila 2012 event was really a fruitful, inspiring and a productive avenue for IT professionals to meet and socialize. Moreover, an excellent strategy for Oracle Corporation to introduce and promote its fascinating products to the global market. (AAP)
